Liberia Faces Backlash as U.S. Deportees Arrive Under Landmark Deal
TL;DR
Fifteen U.S. deportees arrived in Liberia on Thursday as part of a major Trump-era deal to relocate up to about 1,200 people in third-country deportations; Liberian critics warn the arrangement is opaque and demand details on who the deportees are, whether they have criminal records, and how they will be treated, while the government says they will be detained temporarily and may seek asylum or return home.
